Very true about the MGA--all MGAs had the headlights in the fenders, and 
the hood and grille are more sloped. And were smaller overall.


I would tend to agree that it's an XK150.  The front running and 
indicator lights are in the right positions, the hip-up at the B-pillar 
looks right.  The curvature of the windscreen and surround is also right 
(but, Artie's car does not seem to have wing deflectors as do the XK150s 
I can find photos of on the web).


Best guess is a 150.


Cheers.
